Loving this series. Read the second issue before breakfast, and it didn‘t disappoint.

I've loved Allie's work since a friend recommended her website, and I always recommend her graphic narratives if someone asks me what it's like to experience mental illness.

Wishful Drinking | Carrie Fisher

I should be writing my thesis, but instead, I decided to fall in love with Carrie Fisher all over again.

My own brilliant, unique, personality was neatly outlined right there, in that intimate stack of paper. My personality was a disorder--shared by a group of people. Bipolar I Disorder 296.4

Understanding Comics | Scott McCloud

One of the best explanations of the medium of comics. It thoroughly explores the form and function of graphic narratives from a historical and multicultural standpoint.

uhhhhhh I loved this book, it was useful as an academic source without being dry and dull and the sheer passion of the McCloud for his subject was obvious from even the first page. 8y

"When I look at my life I see high-water marks of happiness and I see the lower places where I had to convince myself that suicide wasn‘t an answer. And in between I see my life. I see that the sadness and tragedy in my life made the euphoria and delicious ecstasy that much more sweet."

One of my favorites! Wild stories that are mostly true--they make me laugh and think at the same time. Can't ask for much more. I'm reading it for the third time.

March: Book One | John Robert Lewis, Andrew Aydin, Nate Powell

John Lewis's graphic novel memoir explores his experiences during the 1950s and 1960s. Writer Andrew Aydin builds a strong narrative while artist Nate Powell creates a number of powerful images depicting the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. I'll admit--I got a little teary-eyed. I loved it!

While I'm not a complete novice with the current continuity of DC Comics, I did have some difficulty understanding the storyline initially. However, I soon found myself falling into the action. I think the future is bright with the promises of Rebirth.
